Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard

Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard was launched in August 2016. It is an audio podcast that discusses topics, events, wrestlers and memorable moments through the lense of former WWE executive Bruce Prichard.

We're finally here, WRESTLEMANIA XX! This was the third, and probably last, WrestleMania at Madison Square Garden. We discuss the Garden and the opening video for the show in great detail. We've already covered Royal Rumble 2004 where Benoit won his shot at the World Title and No Way Out 2004 where Eddie Guerrero became World Champion himself but most folks remember the end of this show as their crowning moment of their careers. We discuss why Shawn was inserted into the match, the finish being a submission, the spectacular match between Eddie and Kurt, the return of Mick Foley, the return of the Rock, the way the locker room felt about Brock, why Brock was leaving, when they knew Brock was leaving, why Brock lost the match, what the relationship with Goldberg was like, what was discussed for Bischoff, whether or not Bret Hart was considered, the business being down and why, plus much more about WrestleMania XX!

The WWF's business has never been hotter and the talk of the industry is Austin-McMahon. Vince put a $100,000 bounty to hedge his bets that Austin never becomes Champion again... plus he finds himself in the Royal Rumble? Yes, Vince competed in this Rumble! This is also the year where we saw the first woman compete in the Royal Rumble for the very first time when Chyna comes in at #30! We cover the news and notes heading into the show, detail the business side of the company, discuss the ratings streak that RAW was on, and of course we can't skip the infamous "I Quit!" match between Mankind and Rock.
